145 Sqn, 11/5/44 - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

Hi all,

On 11/5/44, 145 Sqn had an engagement with several FW 190s over Italy.
One of the pilots involved was F/O RJ MacKenzie, RAAF. I'd like to know if any claims were made or if this was an inconclusive combat.

Cheers, Bruce

Hi,

checking my records plus "Neville Duke's War Diaries" 145 were not involved n combats on 11 May 44!, but on 13 May they had a big combat with Bf.109's claiming 3 destroyed.

On the 11May the only RAF daytime claims were 3 109's by 1435 Sq.

Cheers
